In Astreon, the year is 2032, and humanity is on the verge of a scientific marvel. A revolutionary material, engineered by a secretive team of researchers, boasts incredible strength, flexibility, energy efficiency, and most notably, the power to self-heal. Refined into a pill, it allows the disabled to walk, the weak to thrive, and grants users enhanced strength, intellect, and longevity. Alarmed by its potential dangers, the creators erase all traces of their discovery and go into hiding. But as always, someone digs up what was meant to stay buried. Their reckless ambition gives birth to “Masquerade”, a global terrorist threat.
In retaliation, corporate giants launch a covert operation to wipe out everyone involved. You are one of the soldiers who carried it out – and you’ve never been the same. Wracked with guilt, you escape to a quiet, forgotten town to live peacefully with your family. But peace is fleeting. Your wife disappears. Years pass. And then your son comes, asking for help and holding onto hope.
